I took the data in this table from Food Composition and Nutrition Tables by Souci, Fachmann,
Kraut . Their notes for the purine data states
Purines
The total of free and bound compounds is given for each component. The “total purines”
column contains the total of all individual components calculated as uric acid.
The exact calculation of this is beyond the scope of this article, but you can easily see the
relative purine count in the table. Remember, the table of foods high in uric acid shows the
number of milligrams per 100 grams, so intake will depend on portion size.
GoutPal warns against taking these types of analysis too seriously. Firstly, gout food research
indicates that vegetable purines do not increase the risk of gout, and dairy foods can actually
reduce it. More importantly, people digest foods differently – a food that causes gout in one
person might be tolerated by another, and different food combinations have significantly
different effects. There is more information about dealing with foods high in uric acid in my
Gout Diet section.
